A nomadic Himba tribeswoman preparing ochre dirt for bathing on the floor of her mud hut in the North of Namibia.
Himba women are not allowed to bath using water. Apparently this is due to the harsh conditions they roam within where water is scarce and only reserved for drinking. However, personal hygiene is maintained by rubbing ochre dirt on their skin and bathing in smoke.

Crazy winds whipping up sand amongst the Dead Vlei - fortified marsh trees surrounded by enormous sand dunes in southern Namibia.

When and myself had finally succumb to the reality that the wheels had well and truly fallen off our plan, we were lost, 11 hours up a river, in the middle of the jungle and sceptical of our makeshift crew.

Our first impressions were sketchy as a wall of skulls faced back at us, amongst bows and arrows, spears, blades and other hunting tools.
There’s meaning behind the placement of objects adorning the homes of Mentawai Sikerei which generally relate to pleasing the spirits and encouraging future health and prosperity.
Needless to say, the boys were on edge that first night, ha!

A little 10 day roady recap, driving from Burleigh up to Darwin. Partly to help my sister move across the country and partly to snap some pics along the way.
A few car hiccups kept us fairly on the main roads but still some epic sights along the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a staycation within Aus.
